Miracles are all around us. Some are quiet flitting moments of gladness, and others are more profoundly felt. All emerge from a place that defies logical reasoning. Could they be reflections of God’s divinity? How can you describe the wonderment of birth? How can you explain the seasonal rebirth of spring? How can you logically figure out why you happen to be in the right place at the right time to help someone in distress when in fact you had no intention of being there in the first place?
A rainbow emerging as a sign from the heavens on a day of mourning
The awakening that occurs when personal freedom is returned
The symbiotic feeling of kindredness when you take a risk and reach out to someone whom you don’t know well and then find that you have a lot in common. Who knew?
Taking a successful risk because you are listening to your persistent intuitiveness even though your brain is telling you that it’s a crazy thing to do.
A person who lives a healthy full exuberant life despite the fact that the medical prognosis was poor many years ago is a miracle.
Understanding that we were once miracle babies AND that we are still miracles…a bit more wrinkly, but miracles all the same.
Falling in love
Surviving a potentially fatal illness.
Enjoying a bountiful bottle of red wine with a good friend
Finding an new unexpected life path and realizing that you are surrounded by little acts of kindness
Unexpectedly meeting a new friend
Sunrises and sunsets and everything in between………. the small miracles of nature we recognize and are thankful for everyday.
Life can pass you by without acknowledging the astonishing gifts God displays for us. However, it is a life not worth living if that is the case. Awareness of daily miracles produce more of them.... Life enhancement.... It’s easy to do a head drop and walk around with blinders on. But, then you miss out on so many aha moments of astonishment that allow us to be blown away by how miraculous this world really is.
When was the last time you got up early in the morning to watch the sunrise? When was the last time you stopped to look into the face of your child? When was the last time that you took a breather from your office to walk down to the river to enjoy it’s splendour? Lift your head, look around, listen and enjoy. When was the last time you turned on your favourite music and let it wash over you?
A touch of God’s grace, whether it’s found in the spring garden, whether it’s found in cuddling a newborn baby in your arms, whether it’s savouring a decadent piece of melt-in-your-mouth chocolate....a small wonderments waiting for you to enjoy. These moments are yours, compliments of you know Who. They are all miracles.
Aren't we lucky?
